L Y r/ illustration of which is aforded by the partial lining (5) of the cap. It will be understood that the major portions of my entire device are designed to be formed of metal. Mounted within the barrel (1) of the pen is a substantially hook shaped spring member (6) which is adapted to lie against the side and extend around the free endof the pouch (3) forming the ink reservoir. Embracing the spring (6) and similarly. shaped is a guard (7) which is provided with ears (8) for preventing lateral displacement of the spring. Pivotally connected to the forward end of the guard is an operating lever (9) which is arranged to force the spring against the ink pouch (3) to collapse the same, and the partial vacuum so created serves'to draw ink within the pouchV when the supply has been depleted.

The barrel (10) of the automatic pencil element of my device carries a removable tip (11) which is provided with a bore through which the lead (X) extends, and arranged within the barrel in frictional engagement with its walls `is a cylindrical member (12). The-member (12)."is formed with a relatively long terminal-reduced portion (132 which is seated upon the base of the tip 11) in a recess provided in the inner walls of the barrel, and has formed therein a screw threaded bore (14) within which the lead (X) extends. Operable within the bore (14) is a screw threaded lead follower (15) which is provided with a head formed with opposed lugs (16) which engage within opposed grooves in the passage (17) formed in the lead chambers (18) of the cylindrical lead container (19) The container (19) is connectedy with the member (12) by means of acollar (20) which is rotatably mounted upon the container (19) but positively engaged with the casing (12). Slidable movement of the collar (20) on the container'is prevented by a bead (21) andthe portion of the container above the collar is exteriorly screw threaded to receive a capy (22) carrying an eraser, or

the like, (23). The ycollar (2(1)) is formed with an annular flange (20) which extends outwardly from the barrel (10) to aiford a finger grip wherewith to unscrew the collar to readily detach and remove the separate parts.

The cap (,22) carrying the eraser, or the like (28) serves to retain extra leads in the lead chamber"(18), and the free open end of the barrelj (1) of the pen element is designed for frictional engagement with the cap to.'form a unitary and conventionally ,formed pocket or desk accessory. The pen element may be removed from the pencil element by pulling the two apart, in which case the eraser may be used, the extra leads removed, or if desired. the elements may be utlllzed separately. The eraser portion norma-lly extends a suliicient distance within the barrel (1) to form a support for the spring (6), as shown in Figure 1; and to feed lead from the pencil, the pen element is rotated which. rotates the container (19) through the medium of thecap (22), thereby translating such rotational movement into longititdinal movement of the lead follower While the operation of my invention is thought to be evident from the foregoing description, it is here pointed outrthat the various elements are so constructed and arrangedfwith respect to each other that one element is normally operated through the medium of another, although each may be utilized to perform independently the functions `attributed to it. Consequently, not only has a reduction in the number ofparts of the device been attained, but those parts used are simple and effective, and all may be removed and cleaned or replaced with facility. Furthermore each part of my device has been designed to serve several func#y tions, as for instance, the barrel of the pen as a means for rotating the lead follower of the pencil; the cap of the pencil as an eraser casingl and a cover for the lead chamber, aswell as a' connecting member between the pencil and the pen, and; the container forming the lead chamber as an element in the operative process vof feeding the lead from the pencil.

Having described my invention and its objects with such attention to detail as will thoroughly acquaint one skilled inthe art with its construction and advantages, I claim l 1. An article of manufacture for use in the making of a combined pen, pencil, lead container and eraser holder.'comprising relatively rotatable sections forming -a barrel, a hollow supporting member carried in one of the sections and yformed with a reduced end provided with a bore, a hollow, rotatable element arranged in the supporting member, a feed member mounted for sliding movement only in the rotatable member and extending within the bore of the supporting member, a collar carried by the supporting member and engaging the rotatable element, and a cap for the rotatable element adapted for engagement with the remaining section of the barrel whereby to hold said sections together.
